After receiving a report of the state director stating that the plan of refunding complies substantially with such guidelines or after the expiration of fifteen (15) days from the date the plan of refunding is received by the state director, whichever date is earlier, the governing body may take such action with reference to the proposed plan of refunding as it deems advisable.
